haven I seen its use mentioned for chicken pox?
The explanation I got for this is that it’s too easy to overdose a small child with the amount it would take to cover all the open sores with chicken pox. We had adequate relief with a combination of oatmeal baths (the expensive Aveeno kind, I’m afraid) and letting him paint (warm) calamine lotion all over himself with Qtips. (I warmed it in the microwave because when it was cold and wet it really sent him off the deep end! I think his skin was hypersensitive by then). 4.
